Will it work with metal doors?
26305
It really is a piece of junk. It won't keep anyone out, but might alarm you of an attempted break in.

It won't work with any door that doesn't have a large enough gap between the sill and the bottom of the door. In other words, you have to sacrifice weather and bugs entering the bottom in order to get this wedge far enough under the door to stick there. Then there's the issue of the material upon which it sits. If it sits on a throw rug, the door when opening will slide the stopp back and will be of no use. If it sits on a solid but someone rough surface, it should grab that surface and work to a degree. I found it to be useless in my house, where I favor a tight fit between the door sill and the door. I returned it and bought a different device, which suits my needs.

I don't think it matters whether the door is metal or wood. If you look at the end that goes under the door, there needs to be enough clearance for the alarm to fit under the door. It's not absolutely flat. Seems to me that's the only issue.

Yes it will work fine but you have to mount the iron part on a piece of 2" angle when attaching to the door. This unit will provide plenty of holding power.

Yes, if your doors are glass and not plastic. The company specifically recommends it on their website.

If you have wooden crossbars to screw them into, then yes. Would be difficult / impossible to attach to metal. Hope this helps.

Yes, it absolutely will. I've never had an issue with it, but we try to be pretty careful when opening the door. As one commenter noted, you have to open the door pretty vigorously for this to be a real problem.

Yes, as long as you put something non-metal between it and the metal door. You could fashion something yourself, but there is a specific accessory specifically for that, which would be the simplest option.

It will work. You could probably find 2 smaller plates at lowes to fashion to each door. The plate prevents damage to the door and will help reinforce the door in an attempted break in.

It worked with the Munchkin wood and metal designer gate that we bought. We only used at top because of baseboard on bottom of kitchen entry doorway.

It will work OK if the door track isn't too high (probably needs to be under 1 inch). Of course, you won't be able to close the door with the safety bar in place.

Not much. If you have a threshold or a carpet I don't think it will work. My door was too high due to the threshold so it wouldn't work.

I have not used it with a door yet. I would not use it with a flimsy door (hollow core), but I am a big guy. A good exterior door should work. Also make sure that you are pulling the door against the jam, not opening the door as you pull on it. Or use the dead bolt.

I haven't used it on anything metal, but I really don't think it would have any problems doing any kind of job. So far mine has worked great for my needs.

the magnet seems strong enough. I think the question would be if you are able at attach it to the door (assuming the door is metal)

Yes. If your door is metal, you just mount the unit close enough to the door so the magnet-operated striker holds to the door when it closes. Then when you open the door the striker pulls out slightly before striking the gong! Works well!

I believe it can. We installed it in our wall with 2x4 timbers and this unit came with a kit for walls that is adjustable for both 2x4 and 2x6 timbers. If your metal door is standard thickness, it should fit. Best to inquire with the manufacturer before you cut. That's a lot of metal cutting! Good luck!

Yes. As long as the cabinet closes like a regular door, it will work. The damper does not rely on hinge type.

it may work but i think the door has to be thicker. i'm thinking that type of door may not be very strong for this type.
